Sansom Hidden away in a dusty antiquities shop in Egypt, an ancient artefact is discovered. Quickly, it becomes the centre of the deadliest archaeological hunt in history . . . ________ The 20,000 year-old relic is inscribed with what appears to be the long lost language of Atlantis.

Wonderful entertainment' Stephen Coonts, bestselling author of The Traitor 'Will take you to a new level of mystery, wonder, adventure and excitement' Deepak Chopra 'A rollicking adventure, with nonstop action and suspense' Publishers Weekly
